Rear-projection and Plasma TVs

	Sony KDS-R60XBR1 When you think "big screen TV," what image comes into your mind? It's likely to resemble this 60-inch rear-projection HDTV from Sony. Using SXRD, a Sony-developed display technology similar to Liquid Crystal on Silicon, this titan delivers a full 1920 by 1080 lines of resolution and a stunning 13,330:1 contrast ratio, so you really get the most out of your high-definition signal. It's also packed with plenty of A/V inputs and image-enhancing features. Basically, it's the Lexus of rear-projection TVs.
	Samsung HLR5667W This 56-inch DLP rear-projection TV uses Samsung's DNIe™ image enhancer to give you crystal-clear, natural-looking pictures. The technology works to reduce blurring in fast-moving objects, improve image separation and make colors and skin tones more accurate. The HLR5667W has a built-in HD tuner and a 1280 by 720p Digital Format Converter for all inputs. And with a cabinet less than 16 inches deep, it looks more like a flat-panel than a rear-projection.
	Toshiba 46HM95 For a stunning picture on a big screen with a slim profile, consider a Toshiba DLP rear-projection television like the 46HM95. Toshiba DLP projection TVs feature proprietary light engine technology called Toshiba Advanced Light Engine, or TALEN. TALEN uses advanced optics to avoid stray light, and increases both brightness and contrast for a bright, deep, clear, true-to-life image. This 46-inch widescreen HDTV also has a host of cool features, including picture-in-picture and a memory card slot for viewing digital photos.
	Samsung HPR4272 Until recently, the biggest drawback of plasma TVs was their reproduction of true black and color levels. But thanks to improved technology, today's plasmas boast a clear, lifelike picture with much better contrast than before. This 42-inch plug-and-play plasma is no exception, with 549 billion colors and Samsung's DNIe™ image enhancer. There's a built-in HDTV tuner, and the outputs are located on the side of the TV, so you can easily connect devices without having to reach around the back.
	Pioneer PDP-4360HD Pioneer was originally a radio-and-speaker company, so sound quality is an integral consideration in their TVs. The PDP-4360HD has a pair of detachable matching speakers and a port for adding a subwoofer, so you can enjoy three-dimensional sound. This 43-inch plasma TV also has a bright, clear picture with darker blacks and truer colors than previous plasmas. The included HDTV tuner connects to the flat panel with a single cable. You can then hook your other audio and video components up to the receiver and stash them all in a cabinet, minimizing clutter.

It's easy to dream about having the largest TV on the block, until you start thinking about where you're going to put it. Not ready to buy a new house just to accommodate your big-screen? Read on for some more-compact models.
